DESCRIPTION

cupsaddsmb exports printers to the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or
higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the SAMBA
configuration, you may need to provide a password to export the
printers. This program requires the Windows printer driver files
described below.

OPTIONS

cupsaddsmb supports the following options:
-H samba-server
Specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
-U samba-user[%samba-password]
Specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your
current username. If the username contains a percent (%)
character, then the text following the percent is treated as the
SAMBA password to use.
-a
Exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers are
exported.
-h cups-server[:port]
Specifies a different CUPS server to use.
-v
Specifies that verbose information should be shown. This is useful
for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.

MICROSOFTPOSTSCRIPTDRIVERSFORWINDOWS

The base driver for Windows 2000 and higher is the Microsoft PostScript
driver, which is available on any system running Windows 2000 or higher
in the %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\3 folder for 32-bit
drivers and %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\X64\3 folder for 64-bit
drivers.
The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Microsoft driver since it
supports the page-label, job-billing, and job-hold-until options fully
on all printers. However, currently only Windows 2000 and higher is
supported by the Microsoft driver, so you will also need to get the
Adobe driver to support Windows 95, 98, and Me clients. The Adobe and
Microsoft drivers for Windows 2000 are identical.
Once you have extracted the driver files, copy the 32-bit drivers to
the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory and the 64-bit drivers to the
/usr/share/cups/drivers/x64 directory exactly as named below:
[Windows 2000 and higher]
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll
Note: Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that you use the
lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise cupsaddsmb will fail to
export the drivers.

CUPSPOSTSCRIPTDRIVERSFORWINDOWS

cupsaddsmb can use the CUPS v6 PostScript printer driver for Windows,
which is available for download from the CUPS web site.
The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Adobe and Microsoft
drivers since it supports the page-label, job-billing, and job-hold-
until options fully on all printers. However, currently only Windows
2000 and higher is supported by the CUPS driver, so you will also need
to get the Adobe driver to support Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
Once you have extracted the driver files, copy the 32-bit drivers to
the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory and the 64-bit drivers to the
/usr/share/cups/drivers/x64 directory exactly as named below:
[Windows 2000 and higher]
cups6.inf (from www.cups.org)
cups6.ini (from www.cups.org)
cupsps6.dll (from www.cups.org)
cupsui6.dll (from www.cups.org)
ps5ui.dll (from your Windows system)
pscript.hlp (from your Windows system)
pscript.ntf (from your Windows system)
pscript5.dll (from your Windows system)
Note: Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that you use the
lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise cupsaddsmb will fail to
export the drivers.

ADOBEPOSTSCRIPTDRIVERSFORWINDOWS95,98,ANDME

cupsaddsmb can use the Adobe PostScript printer driver for Windows 95,
98, and ME, which are available for download from the Adobe web site
(http://www.adobe.com).
The Adobe driver does not support the page-label, job-billing, or job-
hold-until options.
Once you have installed the driver on a Windows system, copy the
following files to the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory exactly as
named below:
[Windows 95, 98, and Me]
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL
Note: Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that you use the
UPPERCASE filenames shown above, otherwise cupsaddsmb will fail to
export the drivers.
